That's what most defensive coordinators must decide when figuring out how to cover Central Michigan's receiving duo of Antonio Brown and Bryan Anderson.

Not that they've had much luck with their decisions the past few years. Anderson and Brown are among the finest receivers the Mid-American Conference has seen, making themselves comfortable near the top of most career receiving marks.

"We're kind of a dynamic duo in respect to how different we are," said Anderson, who holds the NCAA record with a reception in 53 consecutive games.

Different, yes, but each is disruptive in his own right.

"We compliment each other real well," said Brown, who in just three years is second all-time in receptions in the MAC. "We work really well with each other. We have really developed a bond on and off the field that has helped our game and brought us along as players."

Brown was a first-team All-MAC selection this year after hauling in 97 passes for 1,020 yards and nine touchdowns. Anderson was a second-team pick -- his fourth straight year earning all-conference honors -- with 57 catches for 700 yards and six scores.

Offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian has enjoyed coming up with a game plan that routinely gives the opposition headaches.

"It's a luxury to have two weapons like that. It puts (defenses) in a bind," he said.

They'll have a chance to cause Troy some problems Wednesday when the No. 25 Chippewas (11-2) face the Trojans (9-3) in the GMAC Bowl at Ladd-Peebles Stadium at 6 p.m.

"We've got to finish," Anderson said. "We've had trouble in bowl games the last two years, but we're not going to let that happen this year."

What has happened for Brown and Anderson lately is plenty of success.

Anderson holds the school record with 27 touchdown catches, and his 283 career receptions are third in MAC history -- right behind Brown's 292.

"It's been a great year," said the 6-foot-5, 213-pound Anderson. "We're 11-2 and MAC champions. That's the way I wanted to go out. That is picture-perfect for me."

Brown is three receptions away from his second 100-catch season, and he is the only player in school history to have two 1,000-yard seasons. For good measure, he also is a two-time MAC Special Teams Player of the Year.

"It's been amazing for me this year," said the 5-foot-10, 179-pound Brown, who has submitted paperwork to the NFL to explore his draft status but won't decide anything until after the bowl. "It just shows my consistency, focus, commitment and my hard work. To see it pay off is a blessing."

Their play has been a blessing for CMU, and Bajakian is happy to have at least one more game with his two gamebreakers.

"It's been fun to have them as weapons," he said. "It sure causes defenses problems."
